[Video] Kindergartner Suspended For Making Gun Gesture While Playing “Army” at Recess

A 5 year old has been issued a suspension from school for using his hand to make a ‘gun gesture’ with his hand while playing a pretend army game on the playground at school.

However this is one case where real common sense prevailed. According to WBTV,

Looking to resolve the issue, Hendrix told WBTV that he met with the school principal to plead his case. At first, the school didn’t budge, according to Hendrix. But Hendrix wasn’t giving up.

“I requested an immediate meeting that night with him myself and the school board, at their pleasure, anytime that night. And at that point they decided it was not worth the effort, not worth the headache and dropped everything right then and there,” Hendrix said.

While this issue was resolved in the end, it’s discouraging that it happened in the first place.

This is just the latest example of the zero tolerance hysteria which has swept our nation’s schools.
